Sidestream or Mainstream leaflet (2002)
-
Sidestream or Mainstream is about making all water uses the business of women and men. Everybody, men, women and children must help manage and share water fairly. Conflicts over "troubled waters" - sometimes too much, too little or too polluted - must be avoided. They harm people, food production, nature, the environment, and sustainable development in general. Note that the address of the secretariat in the leaflet is not the current adress!
